Chapter 200: I will destroy your Sun clan and make you pay with blood! I will kill your brother and destroy your city, and send the little tyrant to his doom!

Nightfall, inner city of Jinling.

On the west gate tower, Sun Yu was standing proudly with his sword in hand, looking down at the outer city with a cold gaze.

Although it was already night, Liu's army in the outer city was continuously moving to the outskirts of the city to gather, as if they were about to launch a night battle to siege the city.

Sun Ce's shoulder injury had not yet healed and he was still recuperating on the bed, unable to personally lead the army to fight the enemy.

Among all the sons and daughters of the Sun family, he is the oldest, so naturally he is the only one who will take on the task of fighting the enemy tonight.

"Everyone, cheer up! Fight to the death and don't retreat even a single step!"

Sun Yu looked around and shouted loudly to encourage his soldiers.

The new recruits along the city line were all in a state of panic, with sweaty palms, and no one responded to his cheering.

Sun Yu couldn't help but frown.

After all, these soldiers were newly recruited and had never experienced the test of battle. Most of them didn't even know what it felt like to kill someone.

It was indeed difficult for them to resist the elite Liu army outside the city, which was as fierce as wolves.

"Troops are coming from the inner city!"

Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly beside me.

Sun Yu immediately became alert and looked back at the inner city wall. Sure enough, he saw thousands of soldiers and horses coming along the main street.

The soldiers and horses that came had different clothes and armors, and their flags were also all over the place, including flags with the word "Gu", "Lu", "Zhu" and so on.

"Are Gu Yong and his private soldiers here to help in the battle?"

Sun Yu perked up, and the alertness in his eyes turned into joy.

really.

A moment later, the troops arrived at the city. Gu Yong rode forward and shouted:

"General Sun, we are following the orders of our lord and are leading a total of 5,000 soldiers to come and help us in the battle!"

Sun Yu was overjoyed and immediately lifted the guard, ordering the 5,000 soldiers to be deployed on the city wall.

So these five thousand powerful private soldiers continued to go up to the top of the city wall, filled in the gaps in the city wall, and joined the ranks of defending the city.

"I have three thousand soldiers here, plus their five thousand soldiers, eight thousand soldiers are enough to stop the enemy."

"These private soldiers of wealthy families are even more powerful than our new recruits. It shouldn't be a problem for them to resist the attack of the big-eared thieves..."

Sun Yu's thoughts raced in his mind, and he gradually gained confidence, his frown slowly relaxing.

Sun Yu patted Gu Yong and Lu Xun on the shoulders and said with a smile:
"Yuan Tan, Boyan, you are able to step forward and support our Sun family at this time. This is a great contribution."

"Bofu will never forget your contribution, and neither will our Sun family."

"After repelling the big-eared thief and defending Jiangdong, Bofu will definitely change his ways. My Sun family will share this Jiangdong foundation with you, the meritorious military families and noble families!"

Sun Yu made the promise with a smile.

Gu Yong and Lu Xun, however, looked indifferent. They did not appear as flattered as he had imagined, nor did they express gratitude on the spot or express their determination to swear allegiance until death.

On the contrary, the two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcastic sneer in their eyes.

"You guys...what are you laughing at?"

Sun Yu's face was filled with confusion, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Lu Xun and Gu Yong did not answer. Instead, they took a few steps back and intentionally kept a distance from Sun Yu.

Sun Yu sensed something was wrong and became alert again, his hand subconsciously pressing towards the hilt of the sword.

"Don't do it yet!"

Lu Xun drew his sword first and shouted loudly.

The order came down suddenly.

The Lu family's private soldiers on both sides moved with a roar, swords were immediately unsheathed, and archers quickly bent their bows and drew arrows.

Before Sun Yu could react, he was surrounded by more than a dozen swords and aimed at with dozens of sharp arrows.

The sudden change caused all the Jiangdong soldiers along the city line to be startled and draw their swords one after another.

Almost at the same time, five thousand private soldiers of the wealthy families drew their weapons and charged towards the Jiangdong soldiers.

These recruits had never seen such a scene before, and they were immediately at a loss and did not dare to act rashly.

The two groups of people were in a standoff on the city walls and outside the city.

Sun Yu finally reacted, drew his sword, and shouted angrily:
"Lu Xun, Gu Yong, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Lu Xun took a step forward, met Sun Yu's angry gaze, and said coldly:

"Yes, we are going to rebel against Sun Ce!"

"We have secretly submitted to Lord Xuande. Tonight we are going to seize the city gate, let his army into the city, take over Jinling, and destroy your Sun family!"

Finally, the relationship broke out.

Sun Yu's heart trembled, his eyes shot fiercely towards Gu Yong, and he suddenly woke up.

Sun Ce and his gang of Sun family members were all fooled by Gu Yong.

At the military meeting that day, Gu Yong proposed a plan to call on the wealthy families in Jinling City to contribute their private soldiers and slaves to help Sun Ce defend the city. This was actually a sinister plot they had planned in advance.

The purpose was only to blatantly gather and arm the servants and slaves without arousing Sun Ce's vigilance and suspicion.

Then tonight, in the name of strengthening defense, they openly led their troops to the city walls and launched a mutiny by surprise!

From the very beginning, they had been secretly in contact with Liu Bei, intending to betray their Sun family.

"Lu Xun! Gu Yong!"

"Bofu has treated you well and has great trust in you. How dare you be disloyal and betray Bofu and our Sun family?"

Sun Yu's face was distorted and he cursed loudly in grief and anger.

"You treat me well? You trust me?"

Lu Xun sneered sarcastically, and his face was immediately filled with hatred and anger.

"When Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, he forced my uncle to death and allowed his soldiers to plunder, killing more than a hundred people in my Lu family."

"Sun Ce's hands are stained with the blood of my Lu family. He still dares to say that he has been kind to me?" "In the battle of Eshan, I was coerced by him and risked my life to go to the north bank to present a series of strategies to Lord Xuande. It is obvious that I have no second thoughts about him."

"But he was violent and suspicious. He just thought I was a traitor and leaked Zhou Yu's fire attack plan to Lord Xuande. He almost killed me on the spot!"

"Does he deserve to say that he trusts me?"

Lu Xun vented out the hatred and resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time without any hesitation.

Sun Yu was speechless.

Gu Yong then stepped forward and said angrily:

"Sun Ce was as cruel as Dong Zhuo. When he seized Jiangdong, he killed countless heroes of Jiangdong."

"Who among us doesn't have a blood debt with Sun Ce?"

"We, the people of Jiangdong, have long hated Sun Ce to the core. We wish we could grind his bones to dust and scatter his ashes, leaving your Sun family without a burial place!"

"Today is the day for us, the people of Jiangdong, to avenge our blood debt to Sun Ce and your Sun clan!"

Gu Yong pointed his sword at Sun Yu, venting his anger.

Sun Yu finally understood.

This group of powerful scholars and wealthy families in Jiangdong hated Sun Ce and the Sun family from the very beginning. They all held a grudge and were waiting to take revenge on the Sun family one day.

Now that Liu Bei's army was approaching Jiangdong, he had forced Sun Ce and his Sun family into a desperate situation. This gave them the opportunity to plan this rebellion and completely overturn the table.

"You are a bunch of sinister and cunning people. Bo Fu should not have trusted you. He should have slaughtered you all in the first place!"

"Shameless traitors, I will kill you~~"

Sun Yu became furious and roared, cursing and rushing towards Lu Xun and the other man with his sword in hand.

Lu Xun took a step back and swung his sword fiercely.

The archers around immediately released their arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

More than ten sharp arrows flew out of the bow.

With Sun Yu's martial arts skills, how could he possibly resist at such a close distance?

With a scream, Sun Yu was shot into a hedgehog and fell to his knees on the ground.

The swordsmen on the left and right rushed forward and slashed in all directions with their swords.

Sun Yu's screams gradually disappeared, and he had been chopped into meat paste.

At this time, Sun Yu's generals finally reacted and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to take action.

The five thousand private soldiers immediately drew their swords and started fighting with the Jiangdong soldiers.

The Jiangdong soldiers were few in number and all of them were new recruits, so they were naturally no match for the 5,000 private soldiers. In a short while, they were killed and screamed like ghosts, and fled out of the city in all directions.

The city gate was thus controlled.

Lu Xun cut down the "Sun" flag with his sword and shouted:

"Raise the 'Liu' flag, open the city gates, and welcome Lord Xuande's army into the city!"

After the order was given, the tightly closed gates of Jinling's inner city slowly opened.

A flag with the word "Liu" on it was raised on the city wall.

On the outer city, horns sounded.

Liu Bei, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the flags on the city wall changing, and guessed that Lu Xun and others had successfully rebelled and captured the city gate.

So, Liu Bei did not hesitate and immediately ordered the entire army to charge into the inner city of Nanjing.

The sound of the horn rang out in the night sky.

Countless infantry and cavalry of Liu's army poured into the inner city like a tide.

...

State capital.

Sun Ce was sitting on the couch with half his shirt off, gritting his teeth to endure the pain as the doctor changed his dressings.

"The Gu and Lu families and other wealthy families have donated a total of 5,000 servants and servants. They all provide their own weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, so we don't need to pay for it."

"The enemy troops in the outer city are gathering and seem to be preparing to attack the city. Gu Yong and his men have led these 5,000 volunteers to help."

The fourth brother, Sun Kuang, was reporting military intelligence on the side.

Finally, he heard some good news. Sun Ce's mood improved a lot, and the pain in his shoulder seemed to be relieved a lot.

The gold wound dressing was replaced and the wound was severely bandaged.

Sun Ce stood up with great effort, grabbed his sword and wanted to go to the city wall himself.

"Brother, your injury has not healed yet, how can you move rashly? You should take good care of your injury. Leave the matter of fighting the enemy to Brother Zhongyi."

Sun Kuang hurried forward and supported Sun Ce.

Zhang Zhao also stepped forward to support Sun Ce and persuaded him:
"With these 5,000 volunteers, our army will have nearly 8,000 soldiers to defend the city. With General Zhong Yi's ability to lead the army, we should be able to repel Liu Bei."

"My lord, you should just focus on recovering from your injuries."

After hearing the two's advice, Sun Ce weighed the pros and cons and then sneered:

"You are right. I am still at ease with Zhong Yi commanding the army."

"The big-eared thief would never have expected that I could turn out five thousand elite soldiers overnight. He will be caught off guard!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you and let Zhong Yi deal with the big-eared thief!"

Having said this, Sun Ce just sat down and was about to put down the sword in his hand.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and the guards stumbled into the inner room and fell to the ground.

"My lord, something terrible has happened!"

"The west gate has been lost, and the enemy has already marched into our inner city!"

Sun Ce fell down on the couch, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
